... We can hide problem areas through design. The technique to cover paunch is very
simple - Divert the attention to other parts of the shirt ...

This is an example of Indian innovation. We don't just copy brands, but we innovate in the space.

I didn't think it was gory, it is definitely smart. I also heard somewhere that horizontal stripes make you looker plumper and vertical stripes make you look taller.

Well, such stuff has been known for years! You guys need to read more of "Instyle" or something. Its always suggested to wear specific styles / colors etc to draw attention away from problem areas and focus on other things. Certain necklines and cuts for example make you look slimmer and taller etc.
